[Option 2]

【Eat the core of the Bell Tower Giant】

……

The giant of the bell tower shook and walked forward. As it passed through the city, it trampled the buildings that had long been in ruins, roaring and turning to dust.

On its shoulders and lower back, black creatures climbed slowly.

“……”

Soon after.

The shadow swayed with the cadence of the bell tower giant. The mantis man's triangular head poked out from the shoulders of the giant of the bell tower.

A sharp scythe pierced the base of the bell tower, propping up the body of the first mantis man.

It climbed to the back of the bell tower giant.

This was followed by the second one.

The third.

The Mantis Man ascended the rickety bell tower. They lift their bodies and look around.

Boom...... Boom......

The bell rang out.

The big bell that was shaking, the dry air and the cold wind that blew from outside the city.

There is not a single fire here.

The praying mantis people raised their heads in confusion.

Over their heads, the large bell with golden veins swayed slowly, making a distant bell.

……

“…… It's dangerous. ”

Lying on the top of the bell, hiding in the gap between the bell and the top of the bell tower, Zheng Zhuo poked out a little flame and observed the surrounding scene.

More and more praying mantis people climbed the bell tower. However, they were still looking around, and probably didn't notice it.

"If they jump, it's not so easy to hide. Gotta speed it up. ”

Zheng Zhuo focused his attention on the top of the large clock.

The heat starts to increase.

A notch gradually burned out on the uneven surface of the bell.

Woohoo.

There was a soft thud.

A little bit of gold was evaporated.

[Points: 6]

They turned into Zheng Zhuo's points.

"Very well, go on."

……

Burning the core of the Bell Tower Giant is not as smooth as burning the core of the Mountain Giant. At that time, Zheng Zhuo could hit and hit at will. And now, he has to be careful to ensure that he does the fine manipulation so as not to be detected himself.

But there's a good thing.

That is, the giant of the bell tower is even more sluggish than the giant of the mountain. Its core is slowly evaporated, but not noticed.

Whoa, whoa.

Zheng Zhuo's flames continued to melt inward. More and more golden veins evaporate into points. Later, Zheng Zhuo burned a thin empty layer inside the bell.

He simply squeezed himself into the empty floor. This time, the efficiency of eating is much higher.

However, the Bell Tower Giant's footsteps became less steady. The amplitude of its shaking began to increase.

And......

Knock click!

The footsteps became heavy. The speed of lifting the foot has also slowed down.

Is it the reason I eat? Zheng Zhuo stretched himself out a little from the bell and looked down.

Dense monsters entangled the hands and legs of the giant of the bell tower. Even on his back, monsters began to stack.

It seems that there are two reasons.

"Oops."

The monsters don't seem to have a direction yet. Because Zheng Zhuo stuffed most of his body into the big bell, from the outside, it was difficult to spot him.

The monsters sensed Zheng Zhuo's heat, but they didn't see Zheng Zhuo, so they felt confused.

But they knew Zheng Zhuo was here. They keep climbing up one after another.

Looking at this momentum, sooner or later it will be piled up to the top of the big bell.

Knock click!

The bell tower giant landed again.

His body leaned sharply. Many of the monsters hanging on it were thrown out of it due to inertia and landed in the city below, screaming miserably.

But there are still quite a few monsters that have caught it.

Zheng Zhuo looked at the scene in front of him.

“…… Pregnant. ”

An idea suddenly occurred to him.

Knock click.

The bell tower giant lifted his foot again and stepped down.

Just when the broad soles of the feet are about to step on the ground......

Zheng Zhuo saw the right time and evaporated a large piece of golden lines overflowing from the inner wall of the big clock.

Knock click!

The giant of the bell tower stumbled abruptly and staggered out of the residential area. His body tilted sharply, crashing into the ruins of the city around him, and the monsters on his body rained down.

Prosperous...... Prosperous......

The Bell Tower Giant stood up again. This time, there were far fewer monsters on him.

"Okay."

The crisis is over.

Zheng Zhuo continued to dwell inside the bell, watching the giant of the bell tower walk towards his target, the vicinity of the two white-spiked buildings.

But.

It took some time for him to realize the recklessness of what he had just done.

Prosperous...... Prosperous...... Knock click.

Prosperous...... Prosperous...... Knock click.

Maybe it was because Zheng Zhuo had ingested too many golden veins, or maybe it was because the impact just now shattered part of the body structure of the giant of the bell tower.

The speed at which the Bell Tower Giant advanced slowed down significantly.

Facing the complex in front of him, his movements became more and more amplitude, and moreover, he became more sluggish.

This makes it easier for monsters that jump back on its body to pick it up.

Rustling.

Rustling.

The monsters are coming back faster than before. They climbed the body of the giant of the bell tower with ease. Soon, a tower of flesh and blood was piled up in the bell tower.

Zheng Zhuo had no choice. He could only repeat it one more time.

"Evaporation."

Cha!

Another large piece of golden lines disappeared in the clinging to Zheng Zhuo's body.

The bell tower giant tilted in the other direction. The towers built by the monsters were smashed apart and scattered into the blocks below.

Prosperous......

And this time, the bell tower giant climbed even slower.

After that, Zheng Zhuo repeated this three more times.

The body of the giant of the bell tower began to peel off in large chunks.

Before the disintegration of the mountain giants, a similar situation occurred. Zheng Zhuo knew that the giant of the bell tower had reached its limit.

He flowed out of the top of the nearly hollowed-out bell and looked ahead.

The bell tower giant did not go straight towards the two white spired buildings. Therefore, although Zheng Zhuo was already much closer to there than before, he was still a short distance away from getting there.

Zheng Zhuo looked down again.

As the Bell Tower Giant moved more and more slowly, more and more monsters covered it, burying almost its entire body.

I don't know how many times the monsters that have squeezed into the bell tower reach out and feverishly try to grasp the bell.

“……”

Zheng Zhuo looked at it for a while.

"To you."

He began to cauterize the ring that connected the bell to the top of the bell tower.

——Zizi——

The metal is twisting, discoloring, deforming.

Soon.

Smack.

The connection between the bell and the bell tower is disconnected.

Buzz——!

The bell fell among the frenzied monsters.

Rumble!

There was a loud bang.

Zhong severed the monster's body and split himself into several pieces. The last golden streaks splashed out from the fragments of the bell, and were scorched clean by Zheng Zhuo, who pounced on them.

The bell tower giant let out a hum. Its body is collapsing.

The earth and rocks kept falling, and the site shook violently. The suppressed monsters let out a terrible scream, but the monsters that were not suppressed still stepped forward, trampled on their companions, and stretched out their hands to Zheng Zhuo.

It's like hell on earth...... Although this is already the case.

Zheng Zhuo jumped out of this hell on earth.

In the wind, he opened his golden body.

[Optional Evolution: ...... Power Core/Materialization/Mimicry ......】

[Optional Evolution: ............]

[Optional Evolution: Full Coverage/Lure/Changeling]

……

After the [Optional Evolution] changed a few times, he was able to choose the direction of evolution again.

……

【Question】

[You can choose the direction of evolution.] Which one to choose? 】

[Option 1]

[Full Coverage]

Specifically: [Power Core] and [Materialization] are compounded. All the flames in the body are burned more fully. The speed of action, the speed of reaction, and the temperature rise.

[Option 2]

【Lure】

Specifically: [Power Core] and [Mimic] Compound. Creates a core-like sphere in its own body that attracts predators.

[Option 3]

【Transformation】

Specifically: [Materialization] and [Mimicry] compounding. Can transform into the form of organic and inorganic matter that he has seen before (only form. It still looks like a burning flame).
